View from my driveway this morning. This is rainwater from 35 inches of rain, and not flood waters from a creek or river.
Ground is flat here, and there is no place to drain until the rivers go down.
My house sits higher than the others on the street. We've stayed dry, although at one point it rained so hard that we decided to raise our furniture onto blocks.(at 3 a.m.)
We still have electricity, thankful for that!
Our levee system worked well, kept the Brazos River at bay. Many in Houston and Texas coast were not so lucky.
If you see Houston on the news, pay attention to how every one helps one another. I've seen this time and time again.
I always love to brag on Houston's generous and helping spirit. We have the most diverse population in the United States. Dozens of languages.
But we all came from elsewhere and our common thread of emigration and immigration makes us strong. We are all Texans now.
Houston is not prejudiced about race, religion or sexual orientation. Houston is an amazingly welcoming place.
And Texans don't wait for the Government to help us. We take care of each other.
Sorry I'm behind in commenting, but I've been busy.
